Bit By Bit

As was asked recently on twitter, are we planning on update MMA Manager again? A very reasonable question since last year we updated it fairly regularly and this year there’s been a single update which was mostly a bug fix.

To quickly answer the question, yes we do intend to keep updating MMA Manager. We’ve still got a list of things we want to add to the game, and we’ve been listening to suggestions from the community for what you want.

To be honest with you we haven’t been working on MMA Manager lately. An opportunity came our way to work on an interesting project, with some great people, and some new tech. Like everyone else we’ve got rent & bills to pay so we took the opportunity and are developing a prototype which hopefully pays off.

What that all means is the next update for MMA Manager probably won’t be out until next month by the time we finish the prototype work, and the update goes through the submission process.

We’re happy to announce that our new game IT’S TANKS! is now available globally in the App Store for all iPhones, iPads and iPods that have at least iOS 6. IT’S TANKS! is an asynchronous multiplayer tank vs tank game following in the footsteps of 80s and 90s classics like Scorched Earth. In other words, the kind of games that helped turn us into gamers and game creators in the first place. It’s free to download and play and has both online and local multiplayer. We’ve been working on this since last September, iterating, iterating, iterating to get something that we’re proud to put our names to and hope that you enjoy playing it too.

Players battle in online & local turn based versus matches in randomly created, completely destructible levels. The focus for us was on making the gameplay experience quick and fun with taking a turn being something you can easily do in 20 seconds while waiting for a bus, waiting in a queue or just have 20 seconds to kill. On the other hand, sitting watching TV and playing people in the same room for hours is also a great experience so you can see the look on someones face as you destroy their tank. There were several great (or so I’m told) 6-nations rugby games we managed to ignore while testing this because we were enjoying blowing each other’s tanks up too much.

There’s more details on the game, it’s weapons, items and the team on the main page here. Why not give it a try? As I wrote above it’s completely free and a small download, so it will be quick to install and try. If you like it, you can tweet or post to FaceBook directly from inside the game to tell your friends……and then destroy their tanks!
